I went to Delhi’s labour chowk where women gather each day before going to work as domestic helpers, daily wagers and cleaners. They spoke about the realities they face during their periods. There is no place to relieve themselves, no access to sanitary pads, no support from employers and no rest. They keep working because taking a break is not an option when every rupee counts. These are the women who keep your homes running so they can keep theirs running too.
